bad choice of key press

Very nice.  I really like the way that the colours have come out.

[DaveS]

Yes, very good choice of palette.

I think the colour rendering was helped by combining the stacked SHO for the L channel, strong signal in the SII & OIII being the key in stopping the Ha from being the prominent factor.

Very nice. whipdry

I have been imaging this myself the last few nights. Not had chance to process yet. If mine looks half as good as this, I will be happy

Thanks Gina,

I'm happy with the colour but not so keen on the stars, guess I need to learn some star masking techniques.
